    I did say he wouldn't amount to much at Chelsea.

    I did think that Havertz would do more but it's hard when Lampard is refusing to play him in his preferred role.

    I'm gonna dilute what I say here, as we have them away tomorrow, but that's not very good is it.

    They have both suffered from the same thing which is that they are used to easy football in the weak Bundesliga - every team leaves wide open spaces and you have so much time, and, in Werner's case, space to exploit. In the Premier League almost every team is well-organised and physical and you don't get time to think about it.

    Both have the games to adapt but it's going to take time.

    Feels like there’s been football podcasts every day for the entire year and the one day we’re good everyone’s decided that they need to take a day off and spend it with their family. Fuck your spawn. I’m raging.

    I've pre deleted all today's episodes. When we beat Aston Villa 4-0 next week (or whenever our next win is) I'll listen three times to the episodes about Lampard confounding his critics.

    I listened to Football Weekly for the first time in a long time the other day and not only are they still relentlessly making out as if the guy from Paddy Power is your best mate who is trying tomake you money, they now have Max Rushden and Giggles doing 1 minute scripted pieces throughout to prevent you from being able to quickly forward through the ads. The state of it, pure poison. Won't ever go near it again and I urge you all to follow.

    You're confusing it. It's the Total Football with James Richardson show that has the Paddy Power bloke on to rinse you of your money. Guardian Football Weekly one did a whole show on how gambling is evil after Rushden got criticised for taking money from a bookmaker and asked his agent to cancel the ad deal.

    The one minute of them talking one is a new one for NowTV that you'll find on all football pods. Even Quickly Kevin, the one about football in the 90s gave me a spiel about how I didn't want to miss out on Liverpool v West Brom.

    I gave up when Richardson did. I just didn’t follow him to the other one at the time though.

    Total Football show is awful. Football Weekly might actually be better than under Richardson but Second Captains is still king when it's not about rugby. I listened to the Andy Lee interviews again over Christmas, what a man.

    One of my fav audiobeds they did

    Ah yes, but the scripted ads from the two protagonists is the real darkness.

    That’s a definite about SC with the rugby. I know different sports interest different people and all, but I could even listen to someone talk about things like tennis or boxing or something on the show as the guests/stories can be mildly entertaining. The guests they have on for rugby are mind numbingly boring and always just seem to want to talk about tactics and game breakdowns rather than anything that goes on surrounding the sport.

    Luckily, thats a UK only deal so I only heard it when coming over for xmas. And as I say it's the same ad on literally all football pods this month.

    The only time I want to hear them talk about Rugby is when Ken starts making fun of 'Rugby People' thinking they're better than everyone. Nothing beats Early shitting on them.

    The key to football podcasts is cherrypicking from a range of broadcasters depending on who they have on a given day. TFS can be good but you need to know to run a mile if they've got Duncan Alexander on, for instance.

    Football Weekly has the best balance of everything I've tried, but I still only listen 2 times from 3 as about a third of their contributors (hi Lars Sivertsen) are unlistenable.

    For the same reason as I can’t listen to Garry Neville I always have to turn off Second Captains when they’ve the lad on who can’t pronounce R’s.

    Some of the Totally football lot are insufferable know-it-alls. The amount of after-eventing is incredible. "Actually, I thought that might happen" - yeah, sure you did - why didn't you say it last week, then?

    That goal was coming. We need to mix it up in the final third. Far too predictable.

    Draw was the right result. Liverpool didn't do anywhere near enough to deserve the win.

    Going to be an open season this one. Up for grabs.

    The kind of game a Thiago is needed in. Curtis Jones will be great, but he needs to learn when to get rid of the ball properly. Him bollocksing about and trying to play one across his box caused the corner for the goal.

    Bringing in an actual CB could swing how the title race goes.

    If anyone got their act together for 10-15 games they'd take this easily.

    I still don't know how Liverpool are 3 points clear with all the injuries but I'll take it. A new recruit or two needed in January though.
